Family Session Locations

*Due to increased theft and robberies, Julia is not shooting at the Palace of Fine Arts or Baker Beach in San Francisco*

In the Bay Area, we are blessed with such a wide variety of locations and looks for family sessions! I’ve photographed in a lot of places and love to offer my location expertise to clients. Not only is the look of certain locations important, but also the accessibility, ease, and crowds present. All of these are places I shoot often because they offer a great blend of all of those.
